any initial selection process, prequalification process, bid
submission, proposal submission, and contract performance (in
the case of award), and to have them audited by auditors
appointed by the Bank.
4. Eligible Bidders A Bidder may be a firm that is a private entity, a state-owned

enterprise or institution subject to ITB 4.6 or any combination
of such entities in the form of a joint venture (JV) under an
existing agreement or with the intent to enter into such an

agreement supported by a letter of intent. In the case of a joint
venture, all members shall be jointly and severally liable for the
execution of the entire Contract in accordance with the Contract
terms. The JV shall nominate a Representative who shall have

common control with another Bidder; or
(b) receives or has received any direct or indirect subsidy
from another Bidder; or
(c) has the same legal representative as another Bidder; or

common third parties, that puts it in a position to
influence the Bid of another Bidder, or influence the

preparation of the design or technical specifications of the
works that are the subject of the Bid; or

professional staff of the Borrower (or of the project
implementing agency, or of a recipient of a part of the
loan) who: (i) are directly or indirectly involved in the
preparation of the Bidding document or specifications of
the Contract, and/or the Bid evaluation process of such

Contract; or (ii) would be involved in the implementation
or supervision of such Contract unless the conflict
stemming from such relationship has been resolved in a
manner acceptable to the Bank throughout the Bidding
process and execution of the Contract.
A firm that is a Bidder (either individually or as a JV member)

shall not participate in more than one Bid, except for permitted
alternative Bids. This includes participation as a subcontractor
in other Bids. Such participation shall result in the
disqualification of all Bids in which the firm is involved. A firm
that is not a Bidder or a JV member may participate as a
subcontractor in more than one Bid.
A Bidder may have the nationality of any country, subject to
the restrictions pursuant to ITB 4.8. A Bidder shall be deemed
to have the nationality of a country if the Bidder is constituted,
incorporated or registered in and operates in conformity with
the provisions of the laws of that country, as evidenced by its
articles of incorporation (or equivalent documents of
constitution or association) and its registration documents, as
the case may be. This criterion also shall apply to the
determination of the nationality of proposed subcontractors or
subconsultants for any part of the Contract including related
Services.
A Bidder that has been sanctioned by the Bank, pursuant to the

Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines, and in accordance with its
prevailing sanctions policies and procedures as set forth in the
World Bank Group’s Sanctions Framework, as described in

for, initially selected for, bid for, propose for, or be awarded a
Bank-financed contract or benefit from a Bank-financed
contract, financially or otherwise, during such period of time as
the Bank shall have determined. The list of debarred firms and
individuals is available at the electronic address specified in the
BDS.
Bidders that are state-owned enterprises or institutions in the

Employer’s Country may be eligible to compete and be
awarded a Contract(s) only if they can establish, in a manner
acceptable to the Bank, that they (i) are legally and financially
autonomous (ii) operate under commercial law, and (iii) are not
under supervision of the Employer.
A Bidder shall not be under suspension from bidding by the

Employer as the result of the operation of a Bid–Securing or
Proposal-Securing Declaration.
Firms and individuals may be ineligible if so indicated in
Section V and (a) as a matter of law or official regulations, the
Borrower’s country prohibits commercial relations with that
country, provided that the Bank is satisfied that such exclusion
does not preclude effective competition for the supply of goods
or the contracting of works or services required; or (b) by an act
of compliance with a decision of the United Nations Security
Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
Nations, the Borrower’s country prohibits any import of goods
or contracting of works or services from that country, or any
payments to any country, person, or entity in that country.
When the Works are implemented across jurisdictional
boundaries (and more than one country is a Borrower, and is
involved in the procurement), then exclusion of a firm or
individual on the basis of ITB 4.8 (a) above by any country may
be applied to that procurement across other countries involved,
if the Bank and the Borrowers involved in the procurement
agree.
A Bidder shall provide such documentary evidence of
eligibility satisfactory to the Employer, as the Employer shall
reasonably request.
A firm that is under a sanction of debarment by the Borrower
from being awarded a contract is eligible to participate in this
procurement, unless the Bank, at the Borrower’s request, is
satisfied that the debarment; (a) relates to fraud or corruption,
and (b) followed a judicial or administrative proceeding that
afforded the firm adequate due process.

(c) “Omission” is the failure to submit part or all of the
information or documentation required in the Bidding

29. Determination of The Employer’s determination of a Bid’s responsiveness is to

Responsiveness be based on the contents of the Bid itself, as defined in ITB 11.
A substantially responsive Bid is one that meets the

requirements of the Bidding document without material
deviation, reservation, or omission. A material deviation,
reservation, or omission is one that,
(a) if accepted, would:
(i) affect in any substantial way the scope, quality, or

performance of the Works specified in the
Contract; or
(ii) limit in any substantial way, inconsistent with the

Bidding document, the Employer’s rights or the
Bidder’s obligations under the proposed Contract; or
(b) if rectified, would unfairly affect the competitive position

of other Bidders presenting substantially responsive Bids.
The Employer shall examine the technical aspects of the Bid

submitted in accordance with ITB 16, in particular, to confirm
that all requirements of Section VII, Works’ Requirements
have been met without any material deviation, reservation or
omission.
If a Bid is not substantially responsive to the requirements of

the Bidding document, it shall be rejected by the Employer and
may not subsequently be made responsive by correction of the
material deviation, reservation, or omission.
30. Nonmaterial Provided that a Bid is substantially responsive, the Employer

Nonconformities may waive any nonconformities in the Bid.
Provided that a Bid is substantially responsive, the Employer

may request that the Bidder submit the necessary information
or documentation, within a reasonable period of time, to rectify
nonmaterial nonconformities in the Bid related to
documentation requirements. Requesting information or
documentation on such nonconformities shall not be related to
any aspect of the price of the Bid. Failure of the Bidder to
comply with the request may result in the rejection of its Bid.
Provided that a Bid is substantially responsive, the Employer

shall rectify quantifiable nonmaterial nonconformities related
to the Bid Price. To this effect, the Bid Price shall be adjusted,
for comparison purposes only to reflect the price of a missing
or non-conforming item or component, by adding the average
price of the item or component quoted by substantially
responsive Bidders. If the price of the item or component
cannot be derived from the price of other substantially
responsive Bids, the Employer shall use its best estimate.
31. Correction of Provided that the Bid is substantially responsive, the Employer
Arithmetical Errors shall correct arithmetical errors on the following basis:
(a) if there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the
total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price
and quantity, the unit price shall prevail, and the total
price shall be corrected, unless in the opinion of the
Employer there is an obvious misplacement of the
decimal point in the unit price, in which case the total
price as quoted shall govern and the unit price shall be
corrected;
(b) if there is an error in a total corresponding to the addition
or subtraction of subtotals, the subtotals shall prevail and
the total shall be corrected; and
(c) if there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the
amount in words shall prevail, unless the amount
expressed in words is related to an arithmetic error, in
which case the amount in figures shall prevail subject to
(a) and (b) above.
Bidders shall be requested to accept correction of arithmetical

errors. Failure to accept the correction in accordance with ITB
31.1, shall result in the rejection of the Bid.
32. Conversion to Single For evaluation and comparison purposes, the currency(ies) of
Currency the Bid shall be converted into a single currency as specified in
the BDS.
33. Margin of Unless otherwise specified in the BDS, a margin of preference

subcontractors selected in advance by the Employer.
Bidders may propose subcontracting up to the percentage of

total value of contracts or the volume of works as specified in
the BDS. Subcontractors proposed by the Bidder shall be fully
qualified for their parts of the Works.
The subcontractor’s qualifications shall not be used by the

Bidder to qualify for the Works unless their specialized parts of
the Works were previously designated by the Employer in the
BDS as can be met by subcontractors referred to hereafter as
‘Specialized Subcontractors’, in which case, the qualifications
of the Specialized Subcontractors proposed by the Bidder may
be added to the qualifications of the Bidder.
35. Evaluation of Bids Technical Evaluation

The Employer shall evaluate the Bids using the criteria and
methodologies listed in Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
If specified in the BDS, the Employer’s evaluation will be
carried out by applying rated criteria that take into account
technical factors, in addition to cost factors. An Evaluated Bid
Score will be calculated for each responsive Bid using the
formula, specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification
Criteria. The scores to be given to technical factors and sub
factors are specified in the BDS. The weight to be assigned for
the Technical factors and cost is specified in the BDS.
Financial Evaluation
To evaluate a Bid, the Employer shall consider the following:
(a) the Bid price, excluding Provisional Sums and the

provision, if any, for contingencies in the Summary Bill
1
An individual firm is considered a domestic Bidder for purposes of the margin of preference if it is registered in the country
of the Employer, has more than 50 percent ownership by nationals of the country of the Employer, and if it does not subcontract
more than 10 percent of the contract price, excluding provisional sums, to foreign contractors. JVs are considered as domestic
Bidders and eligible for domestic preference only if the individual member firms are registered in the country of the Employer
or have more than 50 percent ownership by nationals of the country of the Employer, and the JV shall be registered in the
country of the Borrower. The JV shall not subcontract more than 10 percent of the contract price, excluding provisional sums,
to foreign firms. JVs between foreign and national firms will not be eligible for domestic preference.
of Quantities, but including Daywork items, where

priced competitively;
(b) price adjustment for correction of arithmetic errors in
accordance with ITB 31.1;
(c) price adjustment due to discounts offered in accordance
with ITB 14.4;
(d) converting the amount resulting from applying (a) to (c)
above, if relevant, to a single currency in accordance
with ITB 32;
(e) price adjustment due to quantifiable nonmaterial
nonconformities in accordance with ITB 30.3; and
(f) the additional evaluation factors specified in the BDS
and Section III, Evaluation and Qualification Criteria.
The estimated effect of the price adjustment provisions of the

Conditions of Contract, applied over the period of execution of
the Contract, shall not be taken into account in Bid evaluation.
If this Bidding document allows Bidders to quote separate

prices for different lots (contracts), the methodology to
determine the lowest evaluated cost of the lot (contract)
combinations, including any discounts offered in the Letter of
Bid, is specified in Section III, Evaluation and Qualification
Criteria. If, however, rated criteria is used in accordance with
ITB 35.2, discounts on condition of award of more than one
contract will not be used for Bid evaluation purpose.
36. Comparison of Bids The Employer shall compare the evaluated costs of all
substantially responsive Bids established in accordance with
ITB 35.1 to determine the Bid that has the lowest evaluated
cost.
If ITB 35.2 is applicable, the Employer will determine the Bid
with the highest combined technical and financial score in
accordance with BDS 35.2.
37. Abnormally Low An Abnormally Low Bid is one where the Bid price, in
Bids combination with other elements of the Bid, appears so low that
it raises material concerns as to the capability of the Bidder in
regard to the Bidder’s ability to perform the Contract for the
offered Bid Price.
In the event of identification of a potentially Abnormally Low
Bid, the Employer shall seek written clarifications from the
Bidder, including detailed price analyses of its Bid price in
relation to the subject matter of the contract, scope, proposed
methodology, schedule, allocation of risks and responsibilities

and any other requirements of the Bidding document.
After evaluation of the price analyses, in the event that the
Employer determines that the Bidder has failed to demonstrate
its capability to perform the Contract for the offered Bid Price,
the Employer shall reject the Bid.
38. Unbalanced or If the Bid that is evaluated as the lowest evaluated cost is, in the
Front Loaded Bids Employer’s opinion, seriously unbalanced or front loaded, the
Employer may require the Bidder to provide written
clarifications. Clarifications may include detailed price
analyses to demonstrate the consistency of the Bid prices with
the scope of works, proposed methodology, schedule and any
other requirements of the Bidding document.
After the evaluation of the information and detailed price
analyses presented by the Bidder, the Employer may as
appropriate:
(a) accept the Bid; or
(b) require that the total amount of the Performance Security
be increased at the expense of the Bidder to a level not
exceeding 20% of the Contract Price; or
(c) reject the Bid.
39. Qualifications of the The Employer shall determine to its satisfaction whether the
Bidder eligible Bidder that is selected as having submitted the lowest
evaluated cost and substantially responsive Bid, meets the
qualifying criteria specified in Section III, Evaluation and
Qualification Criteria.
The determination shall be based upon an examination of the

documentary evidence of the Bidder’s qualifications submitted
by the Bidder, pursuant to ITB 17. The determination shall not
take into consideration the qualifications of other firms such as
the Bidder’s subsidiaries, parent entities, affiliates,
subcontractors (other than Specialized Subcontractors if
permitted in the Bidding document), or any other firm(s)
different from the Bidder.
Prior to Contract award, the Employer will verify that the

successful Bidder (including each member of a JV) is not
disqualified by the Bank due to noncompliance with contractual
SEA/SH prevention and response obligations. The Employer
will conduct the same verification for each subcontractor
proposed by the successful Bidder. If any proposed
subcontractor does not meet the requirement, the Employer will

require the Bidder to propose a replacement subcontractor..
An affirmative determination shall be a prerequisite for award

of the Contract to the Bidder. A negative determination shall
result in disqualification of the Bid, in which event the
Employer shall proceed to the Bidder who offers a substantially
responsive Bid with the next lowest evaluated cost to make a
similar determination of that Bidder’s qualifications to perform
satisfactorily.
40. Most Advantageous The Employer shall determine the Most Advantageous Bid.
Bid The Most Advantageous Bid is the Bid of the Bidder that meets
the Qualification Criteria and whose Bid has been determined
to be substantially responsive to the Bidding document and:
(a) when rated criteria are used is the Bid with the highest
combined technical and financial score; or
(b) when rated criteria are not used, is the Bid with the
lowest evaluated cost.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CONTRACTOR’S PERSONNEL

We are the Contractor, [enter name of Contractor]. We have signed a contract with [enter name
of Employer] for [enter description of the Works]. These Works will be carried out at [enter the
Site and other locations where the Works will be carried out]. Our contract requires us to
implement measures to address environmental and social risks related to the Works, including the
risks of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
This Code of Conduct is part of our measures to deal with environmental and social risks related
to the Works. It applies to all our staff, labourers and other employees at the Works Site or other
places where the Works are being carried out. It also applies to the personnel of each subcontractor
and any other personnel assisting us in the execution of the Works. All such persons are referred
to as “Contractor’s Personnel” and are subject to this Code of Conduct.
This Code of Conduct identifies the behavior that we require from all Contractor’s Personnel.
Our workplace is an environment where unsafe, offensive, abusive or violent behavior will not be
tolerated and where all persons should feel comfortable raising issues or concerns without fear of
retaliation.
REQUIRED CONDUCT
Contractor’s Personnel shall:
1. carry out his/her duties competently and diligently;
2. comply with this Code of Conduct and all applicable laws, regulations and other
requirements, including requirements to protect the health, safety and well-being of other
Contractor’s Personnel and any other person;
3. maintain a safe working environment including by:
a. ensuring that workplaces, machinery, equipment and processes under each person’s
control are safe and without risk to health;
b. wearing required personal protective equipment;
c. using appropriate measures relating to chemical, physical and biological substances
and agents; and
d. following applicable emergency operating procedures.
4. report work situations that he/she believes are not safe or healthy and remove
himself/herself from a work situation which he/she reasonably believes presents an
imminent and serious danger to his/her life or health;
5. treat other people with respect, and not discriminate against specific groups such as women,
people with disabilities, migrant workers or children;
6. not engage in Sexual Harassment, which means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature with other
Contractor’s or Employer’s Personnel;
7. not engage in Sexual Exploitation, which means any actual or attempted abuse of position
of vulnerability, differential power or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited
to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another;
8. not engage in Sexual Abuse, which means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a
sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions;
9. not engage in any form of sexual activity with individuals under the age of 18, except in
case of pre-existing marriage;
10. complete relevant training courses that will be provided related to the environmental and
social aspects of the Contract, including on health and safety matters, Sexual Exploitation
and Abuse (SEA), and Sexual Harassment (SH);
11. report violations of this Code of Conduct; and
12. not retaliate against any person who reports violations of this Code of Conduct, whether to
us or the Employer, or who makes use of the grievance mechanism for Contractor’s
Personnel or the project’s Grievance Redress Mechanism.
RAISING CONCERNS
If any person observes behavior that he/she believes may represent a violation of this Code of
Conduct, or that otherwise concerns him/her, he/she should raise the issue promptly. This can be
done in either of the following ways:
1. Contact [enter name of the Contractor’s Social Expert with relevant experience in handling
sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and sexual harassment cases, or if such person is not
required under the Contract, another individual designated by the Contractor to handle these
matters] in writing at this address [ ] or by telephone at [ ] or in person at [ ]; or
2. Call [ ] to reach the Contractor’s hotline (if any) and leave a message.
The person’s identity will be kept confidential, unless reporting of allegations is mandated by the
country law. Anonymous complaints or allegations may also be submitted and will be given all
due and appropriate consideration. We take seriously all reports of possible misconduct and will
investigate and take appropriate action. We will provide warm referrals to service providers that
may help support the person who experienced the alleged incident, as appropriate.
There will be no retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith about any
behavior prohibited by this Code of Conduct. Such retaliation would be a violation of this Code
of Conduct.
CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING THE CODE OF CONDUCT
Any violation of this Code of Conduct by Contractor’s Personnel may result in serious
consequences, up to and including termination and possible referral to legal authorities.
FOR CONTRACTOR’S PERSONNEL:
I have received a copy of this Code of Conduct written in a language that I comprehend. I
understand that if I have any questions about this Code of Conduct, I can contact [enter name of

Section VI - Fraud and Corruption

1. Purpose
1.1 The Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines and this annex apply with respect to procurement
under Bank Investment Project Financing operations.
2. Requirements
2.1 The Bank requires that Borrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank financing); bidders
(applicants/proposers), consultants, contractors and suppliers; any sub-contractors, sub-
consultants, service providers or suppliers; any agents (whether declared or not); and any of
their personnel, observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement process,
selection and contract execution of Bank-financed contracts, and refrain from Fraud and
Corruption.
2.2 To this end, the Bank:

a. Defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
i. “corrupt practice” is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or indirectly,
of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party;
ii. “fraudulent practice” is any act or omission, including misrepresentation, that
knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain financial or
other benefit or to avoid an obligation;
iii. “collusive practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve
an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party;
iv. “coercive practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly
or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions
of a party;
v. “obstructive practice” is:
(a) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering, or concealing of evidence material
to the investigation or making false statements to investigators in order to
materially impede a Bank investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent,
coercive, or collusive practice; and/or threatening, harassing, or intimidating
any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the
investigation or from pursuing the investigation; or
(b) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Bank’s inspection and
audit rights provided for under paragraph 2.2 e. below.
b. Rejects a proposal for award if the Bank determines that the firm or individual
recommended for award, any of its personnel, or its agents, or its sub-consultants, sub-
contractors, service providers, suppliers and/ or their employees, has, directly or indirectly,
Section VI – Fraud and Corruption 104
engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices in competing

for the contract in question;
c. In addition to the legal remedies set out in the relevant Legal Agreement, may take other
appropriate actions, including declaring misprocurement, if the Bank determines at any
time that representatives of the Borrower or of a recipient of any part of the proceeds of
the loan engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices during
the procurement process, selection and/or execution of the contract in question, without
the Borrower having taken timely and appropriate action satisfactory to the Bank to address
such practices when they occur, including by failing to inform the Bank in a timely manner
at the time they knew of the practices;
d. Pursuant to the Banks Anti-Corruption Guidelines and in accordance with the Bank’s
prevailing sanctions policies and procedures, may sanction a firm or individual, either
indefinitely or for a stated period of time, including by publicly declaring such firm or
individual ineligible (i) to be awarded or otherwise benefit from a Bank-financed contract,
financially or in any other manner;1 (ii) to be a nominated2 sub-contractor, consultant,
manufacturer or supplier, or service provider of an otherwise eligible firm being awarded
a Bank-financed contract; and (iii) to receive the proceeds of any loan made by the Bank
or otherwise to participate further in the preparation or implementation of any Bank-
financed project;
e. Requires that a clause be included in bidding/request for proposals documents and in
contracts financed by a Bank loan, requiring (i) bidders (applicants/proposers), consultants,
contractors, and suppliers: and their sub-contractors, sub-consultants, service providers,
suppliers, agents, personnel, permit the Bank to inspect3 all accounts, records and other
documents relating to the procurement process, selection and/or contract execution, and to
have them audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.
1
For the avoidance of doubt, a sanctioned party’s ineligibility to be awarded a contract shall include, without limitation, (i)
applying for pre-qualification, expressing interest in a consultancy, and bidding, either directly or as a nominated sub-
contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider, in respect of such
contract, and (ii) entering into an addendum or amendment introducing a material modification to any existing contract.
2
A nominated sub-contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider
(different names are used depending on the particular bidding document) is one which has been: (i) included by the bidder in
its pre-qualification application or bid because it brings specific and critical experience and know-how that allow the bidder
to meet the qualification requirements for the particular bid; or (ii) appointed by the Borrower.
3
Inspections in this context usually are investigative (i.e., forensic) in nature. They involve fact-finding activities undertaken
by the Bank or persons appointed by the Bank to address specific matters related to investigations/audits, such as evaluating
the veracity of an allegation of possible Fraud and Corruption, through the appropriate mechanisms. Such activity includes
but is not limited to: accessing and examining a firm's or individual's financial records and information, and making copies
thereof as relevant; accessing and examining any other documents, data and information (whether in hard copy or electronic
format) deemed relevant for the investigation/audit, and making copies thereof as relevant; interviewing staff and other
relevant individuals; performing physical inspections and site visits; and obtaining third party verification of information.
